Hotter than Hot GRL Summer

Your hair is fried after swimming.
It looks like straw, feels dry and frizzy — and you feel like a mess at the beach.
And instead of loving your hair, you’re trying to rescue it. Stop wasting money repairing damage at the salon.

Imagine hair that feels silky, frizz-free and colour-protected — so you step out of the water looking confident, glossy and glowy.

Swim Saltwater & Chlorine Hair Protectant

Say goodbye to dreaded post-swim hair.

Dry. Brittle. Colour-faded. Frizzy. Hair so knotted that brushing feels impossible.

We’ve all been there, hair that looks and feels like straw after a swim.

That’s exactly why we created Pre-Swim.

Pre-Swim is a lightweight, leave-in hair protectant designed to be applied before swimming, helping shield hair from the drying effects of chlorine, saltwater, and UV exposure. Think of it as an invisible swim cap for your hair.

Why Prevention Matters

Most hair products try to fix damage after it’s already happened. Pre-Swim works differently: it helps protect your hair before you enter the water.

Think of it like SPF. You wouldn’t wait for sunburn before protecting your skin, and your hair deserves the same care.

When applied before swimming, Pre-Swim forms a lightweight barrier that helps reduce water absorption, minimising dryness, frizz, tangling, and colour fade.


What You'll Notice

From the very first use, hair feels:

  • Healthier

  • Softer and smoother

  • Shinier and more manageable

  • Easier to brush, with fewer knots

  • Less frizzy after swimming

✔ Suitable for all hair types

✔ Safe for natural and colour-treated hair

✔ Hair-extension friendly

✔ Keratin and Nanoplasty friendly

Don’t wait for the damage, protect your hair from the first splash. 


How to Use

Before swimming

Apply Pre-Swim to dry or damp hair at least 10 minutes before swimming.

For best results, apply 1–5 hours before (the longer, the better).

After swimming

Towel-dry hair thoroughly and reapply a smaller amount.

At home

Rinse hair in the shower. You don’t have to shampoo and condition, as your hair has been protected, shampoo only if desired.

If you want to completely remove the residue and return hair to a non-silky feel, simply shampoo hair. 


Ways to Use When You're Not Swimming 

  • A heat protectant before blow-drying or styling

  • A frizz-free blow-dry cream for a smooth, glossy finish

  • A slick-back bun or flyaway-taming styling cream

  • A pre-shampoo treatment to boost softness and shine

  • A curl cream for added moisture and bounce


 Scent & Texture

 Pre-Swim instantly makes you feel like you’re on a tropical holiday, with a blend of coconut and pineapple that smells like a fresh piña colada. The formula melts into the hair, gliding through like silk.

What Happens to Your Hair When You Swim Without Pre-Swim

Swimming without Coastal GRL Pre-Swim protectant can be damaging to your hair. Chlorine, salt, minerals, and UV exposure strip hair of natural oils and moisture, which over time can lead to:

  • Dry, brittle hair that’s prone to breakage

  • Increased tangling and knotting

  • Frizz and rough texture

  • Split ends and dull, lifeless hair

  • Fading or unwanted changes in colour, especially for blonde or colour-treated hair
